The greatest girl-power moments of 2016

No matter what political party you're affiliated with -- Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, Green or in between -- the fact that Hillary Clinton not only ran for president but was the first female candidate ever to earn a major party's nomination was a huge step for women across the globe. Despite widespread disappointment -- the latest Nov. 8 election counts show that Hillary won the popular vote despite Donald Trump's electoral college victory -- her contribution to shattering the glass ceiling can't be denied. Getting this much closer to electing the first female president in the history of the United States is girl power at it's finest. Not to mention that the 2016 Democratic National Convention was all about empowering ladies, featuring speeches from strong female celebrities like Demi Lovato, Eva Longoria and Meryl Streep. My oh my, how the world has evolved.
